Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) integrates cognitive behavior therapy with teachings in mindfulness and acceptance. Developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, DBT helps us address difficulties with regulating emotions, impulse control, assertiveness, and relationships. Together patients learn and practice skills that help identify and manage emotions, so that the person feels empowered to tolerate life events and to navigate interactions with others.

Our DBT Skills Groups meet weekly. New clients can join a group at the start of each DBT Module. It takes on average five months to complete a full cycle of DBT.

Group Membership Criteria

Individuals who participate in our DBT groups are required to be in individual weekly treatment.
